Every OPK I've taken is NEGATIVE!!! What gives?!?!

This is my first month using these stupid things and everyone I've taken is not even close to being positive... sigh. What am I doing wrong? I'm doing them at 6pm- 7pm after a 3hr+ hold. My LMP was 1/27, I've done OPK's starting on 2/7 through 2/17. Shouldn't I have gotten a positive by now??? Am I just not ovulating?? Soooo friggin frustrating!!!!!

I never gotten a positive OPK, even ttc with DD (dear daughter) all came negative....yet my temps have always confirmed I Oed. Tempting is wonderful cause its the only way you can actually confirm, I feel like OPKs is a waste for me. Maybe you have a short surge and have to test twice a day AM/PM

I started doing opks this cycle. I started at cd9 (2/8) twice a day and all of them were neg until yesterdat afternoon. AM was neg but I had this weird gut feeling to take one at 3pm (wasnt suppose to until like 7-8pm) and boom! Positive. So dont give up! Just keep with it, and do AM & PM.

My LMP was 1/28 and I just got my first +OPK today! Keep testing, it could be happening soon. This is a little late for me, so I thought I Oed with all negatives, but here I am today with a positive. Could be a late cycle. I also recommend twice a day. Some people once surge for 12 hours so once a day might miss it. I do my SMU (second morning urine) right before I leave for work (7:30ish) and do my hold after lunch and take my OPK (ovulation predictor kit) when I get home (4:30). GL!

I know how you feel. The same thing happened to me. I started testin last month. All the tests came up negative, except for the last day. Then this month they all came up negative. It is so fustrating! An these test are expensive. If feel like I am wasting my money. But most people seem to swear by temping, so I think I am going to give it a try.

Thanks for all the replies ladies. So lets see to answer your questions... my m/c was a year ago 2/3/12, I had a D&C... my cycles are usually 29-30 days. Which is why I thought I should have ovulated by now! I am using the pink dye OPK's... I don't temp, mainly because I don't know anything about charting and I've been trying to just get preggo again without all the "help". Well... NOT HAPPENING! So this month I thought let me at least try the OPK's. So after reading some of your comments, some of you had your LMP right around mine and you're just now getting a positive OPK?! Isn't it too late for me to ovulate now with my cycles only being 29-30 days??

Temp is easy with ferilty friends just take your temp same time every morning before doing any thing ( keep bbt close to you) exp don't talk drink move much post it in ff and it charts it for you this will also help you see a spike witch means you had a surge

Definitely temp. I've o'd every cycle for last four, confirmed by blood tests and got pregnant with my mc. But I never got a positive opk despite using them 2-3 times a day. I think some people are just immune!
